Wang Fen's conspiracy
For some, rebellion is a last resort, a fight for the right to exist. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But for some, rebellion is like fishing in troubled waters, and it seems to be a good speculative behavior. Driven by this rebellious profit, more and more government officials joined the rebels.
Liangzhou Sima Ma Teng is one of them. After he joined forces with Han Sui, the two decided to make the cake bigger and stronger, so they jointly elected the new leader of the rebel army, the kingdom, and then they pointed to Chang'an and plundered the Sanfu region.
The news was transmitted back to the capital Luoyang, and Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty called the Taiwei Zhang Wen. The revolution is not about inviting guests to dinner, and calling Zhang Wenlai is not about bragging about chatting, but about accountability: How did you become a captain? The rebels did not suppress it, but more and more. Since you can't do it, I have to change people.
In April, Zhang Wen was dismissed. Situ Cuilie was transferred to the rank of lieutenant. In May, Sikong Xu Xiang was transferred to Situ. Guanglu Xunding Palace was promoted to Sikong.
Following Ma Teng, Zhang Chun of Youzhou also raised the anti-flag. When Zhang Wen went to conquer Liangzhou, he had requisitioned 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry stationed in Youzhou to help him. Zhang Chun, the former minister of Zhongshan, volunteered to be the commander of this army, but Zhang Wen refused. Zhang Wen chose Gongsun Hao, the county commander of Zhuo County, to lead this army. As a result, when they arrived in Ji County, Guangyang County, this Wuhuan army dispersed in a hurry and defected back to China. Scatter and disperse, and I didn't expect to rely on these 3,000 internationalist fighters to put down the rebellion in Liangzhou. But Zhang Chun was furious. In June, Zhang Chun chose to ally with the former Taishan Taishou, his fellow villager Zhang Ju, and Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju to rebel against the Han Dynasty together. They plundered Jizhong, killed Gong Qichou, the captain of Wuhuan Colonel, Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping, and Yang Zhong of Liaodong, with more than 100,000 troops, based on Feiru County, Liaoxi County. Zhang Ju proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven; Zhang Chun proclaimed himself the general of Mitian and the king of stability.
On September 13, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: criminals in the world who have not yet been sentenced can be atoned for.
In October, more than 10,000 people gathered in the Changsha thief district and called themselves generals. The Lingling people called themselves General Pingtian and invaded Guiyang County. Liu Hong hurriedly sealed Lang Sun Jian as the Taishou of Changsha, first cut the district star, and then Pingguan Hu. Sun Jian was named Marquis of Wucheng for this merit.
Just got rid of Zhang Wen, who spent money to buy officials, and Cui Lie, who spent money to buy officials. If the rebels can be put down, then Cui Lie and Liu Hong will be a win-win situation; If it's uneven, then I'm sorry, Cui Lie, you leave the money and leave by yourself... That thing that Zhang Wen can't do, can Cui Lie handle it?
The answer, of course, is no! So in November, Cui Lie, who had only been a lieutenant for 7 months, was dismissed. And the next person who succeeded him was at a very high price, and before, Liu Hong sold the position of the third prince for at most 10 million yuan. And this person actually paid hundreds of millions of tributes to Liu Hong back and forth, all of which were thrown on the West Park construction project.
This person who spent money to buy the first lieutenant of the Three Princes was the adopted son of Cao Teng, the father of Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, and Cao Song, the great farmer (historical records: Cao Song could not judge his birth, or the son of Yunxiahou) Cao Teng was skilled in making money, and was thrown back to Liu Hong by his adopted son. It's called where you come from and where you go back. The wool always comes out of the sheep... In the years of war and chaos, it is not easy to make hundreds of millions of dollars, and how much courage it takes to throw out hundreds of millions of dollars at once. Liu Hong sold to Cao Song, the captain, and he really made a lot of money!
In December, Hugh Tu and Hu raised troops against the Han.
This year, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to sell the marquis title of Guannei, and a title was priced at 5 million yuan.
This year, Chen Yu, a generation of celebrities and former Taiqiu County magistrates, passed away. More than 30,000 people went to hang themselves.
In January of the 5th year of Zhongping (188), Hugh Tu Gehu invaded Xihe County and killed Taishou Xingji.
In February, Guo Da and others, the remnants of the Yellow Turban, revolted in the Baibo Valley of the Xihe River and attacked the two counties of Taiyuan and Hedong.
In March, Hugh Tu Gehu attacked and killed Zhang Yi, the assassin of the state.
In March, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to levy the soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu, commanded by Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou, to conquer Zhang Chun. The Southern Xiongnu sent King Zuo Xian to lead his troops to Youzhou in Qiangqu alone. But who knew that as soon as the front foot of the Zuo Xian King left, the right basin of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled in the name of "fear of sending troops", united Hugh to slaughter each Hu, and killed his own Shan Yu Qiangqu. The son of Qiangqu and the right virtuous king Yu Fuluo is the one who holds the corpse and chases the marquis Shan Yu.
In March, Liu Yan, a descendant of Liu Yu, the king of Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty, and Taichang Liu Yan, saw that the government was in trouble, and that he was looking for trouble, so he made a crucial suggestion to Liu Hong, the emperor of Han Ling. At this time, Liu Yan and Liu Hong probably didn't think that it was this suggestion that would end the nearly 400-year rule of the Han Dynasty in the future and usher in a chaotic era of separation. Liu Yan said, "At present, the power of local officials is too small, and many of them rely on bribery to gain officials, and use people other than them, which leads to rebellion in the world." Now it is time to elect those important ministers of the court to serve as local shepherds, and increase their power. Only by using this kind of suppression and appeasement can the chaos of the world be leveled" Liu Yan said that there was actually his selfishness. He wanted to leave the central government and go to the local area to be a soil emperor. At first, he took a fancy to Jiaozhou. But his friend and servant Dong Fu privately said to Liu Yan, "Yizhou has a genius spirit", so Liu Yan wanted to go to Yizhou again.
At this time, Yizhou Assassin Shi Yijian was indeed a corrupt official and a cool official. In addition, the Liangzhou assassin Geng Contempt and the Bingzhou assassin Zhang Yi were successively killed by thieves, and Liu Hong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, finally approved Liu Yan's suggestion, and selected Lieqing and Shangshu as local state pastors in the central court, each with their own rank: Liu Yan was the Yizhou pastor. The fifth grandson of Liu Yi, the king of the East China Sea, Zongzheng Liu Yu is the pastor of Youzhou. The servant Huang Wan is the pastor of Yuzhou. At the end of the history book, he commented that "the state is heavy, and it starts from here" Dong Fu and Taicang ordered Zhao Wei to abandon their official positions and follow Liu Yan into Shu.
In April, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party in Gepi, Runan County, revived and conquered the county.
In April, Taiwei Cao Song was dismissed. In May, Fan Ling, Yongle Shaofu, was promoted to lieutenant. In June, Fan Ling was dismissed.
In a little more than a year, four lieutenants were dismissed in a row, but there was still no one who could deal with the rebels. On the contrary, the rebels became more and more violent.
Huang Turban, Yu Dang, Ma Xiang, Zhao Yi and others raised troops in Mianzhu County, Guanghan County. Killed Yizhou assassin Shi Yijian, and divided his troops to attack Ba and Qianwei two counties. Bajun Taishou Zhao was killed. In the middle of October, the three counties suffered. Ma Xiang gathered tens of thousands of people and called himself the Son of Heaven. But he didn't enjoy the scenery of the Son of Heaven for a few days, and was attacked and killed by the local officials and people led by Jia Long in Yizhou.
After Jia Long restored order in Yizhou, he sent people to welcome Liu Yan into Shu. After Liu Yan arrived, he first moved the Yizhou administrative office from Guanghan County to Mianzhu County. Then he will accept the rebellion, be lenient, and win people's hearts.
Man-made disasters have not been settled, and natural disasters have come. In June, 7 counties were flooded. There are all kinds of signs: the Han will die!
The Han Dynasty is going to fall, who has the most to lose? The common people are all poor, and there is no loss. The biggest loss was not Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, but the eunuchs in the palace!
At this time, a sorcerer named Xiangkai said, "According to the recent celestial signs, the eunuchs' doom is about to befall." When the time comes, none of the Yellow Gate and Chang Shi will be able to escape, and they will all be wiped out."
Let's think about it: if the eunuchs are going to be exterminated, who will do it? Of course, the enemies of the eunuchs! Looking at the Han Dynasty, who is the biggest enemy of the eunuchs? Doctors, of course!
As soon as someone heard the news, they jumped up with excitement: Chen Fan's son Chen Yi was at the home of Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, and heard Xiangkai say this! Chen Fan was killed by the eunuchs. If God manifests, Chen Yi's time for revenge is coming.
But there is a problem here: to destroy the eunuchs, first the emperor Liu Hong has to die. If he doesn't die, don't say that he will kill the eunuchs, it is impossible to kill one or two eunuchs, "Zhang Rang is my father, Zhao Zhong is my mother" The entire eunuch system is Liu Hong's relatives and brothers, it's no wonder he doesn't play with you!
That's a bit of a hassle. The world is so big that anyone can kill it, but you can't kill the emperor. Otherwise, it will be damned... But Wang Fen doesn't believe in this evil. He took the initiative to stand up and said, "If you want to kill the eunuch, let me take the lead."
Wang Fen is not talking about playing. In order to prepare for the work, he traveled from place to place, pulling people everywhere. Then he went to the center of the book and told Liu Hong: In the area of Montenegro, the rebels are looting the counties.
Liu Hong is no stranger to the rebels in Montenegro. That was Zhang Feiyan, who took the initiative to ask for recruitment. Of course, Liu Hong knew that Zhang Feiyan's initiative to surrender was unreliable. But as long as he doesn't cause trouble, he will be Amitabha. But now that Wang Fen said that they were making trouble again, Liu Hong, who was the emperor, naturally couldn't sit idly by.
Of course, Wang Fen knows this truth. What he was waiting for was Liu Hong's attitude... The reason why Wang Fen wanted to play the matter of the Black Mountain thief making trouble was not to solve the trouble, but to create more trouble! As long as Liu Hong allows him to conquer Zhang Feiyan, he will have military power in his hands! With the military power in hand, the rest is much easier...
But after the book was delivered, there was no follow-up. However, Wang Fen received another exciting news: Liu Hong planned to revisit his hometown and go back to his hometown in Hejian before he became emperor. Wang Fen was excited: if the information was accurate, there might not be any need to wait for Liu Hong to approve his edict to lead troops. As long as Liu Hong leaves Beijing and enters his own Jizhou territory, he can be kidnapped. As soon as the emperor is in hand, he can kill the eunuchs, then depose the emperor and set up a new emperor. Hefei Hou is a good candidate... In this way, the Han Dynasty can change the day. Tomorrow will be a brand new man. What a great and exciting feat!
But if the grand conspiracy of kidnapping the emperor halfway is to succeed, it is far from enough to rely on one's own strength, and it is necessary to pull a few really bold people to act together: Cao Cao, Xu You, Zhou Jing, Hua Xin, and Tao Qiuhong.
Wang Fen's vision is really good. Later, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it is estimated that half of this inspiration came from Wang Fen. But at this time, Cao Cao did not hesitate to choose to refuse, "The abolition of the king is the biggest disaster in the world." In ancient times, only Yi Yin and Huo Guang had succeeded. The reason why they were successful was because they were loyal to the country and held great power, which led to the successful substitution. Now with the strength of just a few people you and me, you want to overturn the river and the sea? What a danger"
Cao Cao has a point. At this time, he is just a councilor, Wang Fen is just a state assassin, and when they join forces, they want to have the strength of Yi Yin and Huo Guang back then?
As soon as Tao Qiuhong received Wang Fen's invitation, he immediately set off to prepare to leave. But at this moment, his fellow countryman Hua Xin blew a cold wind in his ears, "Such a major event as the abolition of the emperor is the reincarnation of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and he is not sure of success." Wang Fen has a sloppy and indecisive personality, and he will definitely fail to do this."
Hua Xin, one of the famous men of the Han Dynasty. Later, when Cao Cao pacified the world, he enthusiastically followed. After Cao Pi usurped the throne of Han, Hua Xin was named Xiangguo. It can be seen from this that this is also a man with a city government and a strategy. And his reasons for opposing Wang Fen are basically the same as Cao Cao's: 1. Wang Fen is soft-spoken and not strong enough; 2, the Marquis of Hefei that Wang Fen wants to support is not popular (this "Marquis of Hefei" cannot be found in the history books at all); 3 Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. In case Liu Hong is possessed by the gods, once the princes of the world unite to protect the emperor, it will be much easier to step on them than for Huangfu Song to step on Zhang Jiao. Bottom line: The risk of rebellion is high, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry. Cao Cao has time, so why bother to do such reckless speculation now?
Speaking of which, we seem to have one more: Liu Hong's life is big! Wang Fen, who was isolated, suddenly heard another unfortunate news: Liu Hong had canceled his plan to revisit his hometown. What's even more fatal is the following article: Liu Hong ordered Wang Fen to disband the troops on the spot and return to Luoyang to report on his work.
It is said that when Liu Hong was about to travel, he suddenly received a recital from Taishi, saying that he observed that in the middle of the night, there was a red qi in the north, from east to west, across the night sky. According to astrology, this is a conspiracy by someone in the north, preparing to murder His Majesty. Therefore, His Majesty is advised not to go.
This is said to have a nose and an eye. But I still think that Wang Fen's plan should have been leaked, and then the relevant people used celestial phenomena to warn Liu Hong in order to cover up people's eyes.
Wang Fen also thought that his plan must have been leaked, otherwise how could Liu Hong let him disband the troops and call him back to Luoyang? Wang Fen had no choice but to flee. It's just that the world is vast, where can you escape? Wang Fen, who fled to Pingyuan County, finally chose to commit suicide.
